Regulatory Guidelines for Cell Characterization

BioReliance CRO scientists will assist you in designing your cell line characterization studies in compliance with global current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) practices as well as FDA and international regulatory guidelines.

The regulatory requirements for a cell line or virus seed characterization program have three major components:

Source history and generation of the cell line or virus seed

Characterization and testing to establish identity, purity and stability

Cell banking or virus seed banking procedures

If the product is to be marketed internationally, then initial efforts should be placed on developing cell line characterization and testing programs that satisfy regulatory requirements and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

BioReliance has manufactured and characterized hundreds of client cell banks and offers a complete testing program. Programs are custom designed to take into account the species of origin and culture history of the cells. Click here to contact us for your cell line characterization needs.
